wlstiles3's Review:

Had this twice in the last 2-3 weeks and enjoyed. Nice, complex, what you would expect from a Napa Cab, nothing extraordinary but very solid.

wlstiles3's Review:

Very nice. Very nice indeed. Lots of fruit, not jammy, dark fruit, velvety smooth.Bargain. Paid 9, taste like 20.

wlstiles3's Review:

This is a well balanced Merlot. Dark fruit, toasty oak, mocha. Soft tannins and a nice finish. A very nice wine @ a very good price.

wlstiles3's Review:

This is my favorite Merlot. It got me to rethink my position on Merlot. Very meaty and complex wine, would pair well with a nice slab of Angus Beef.

wlstiles3's Review:

Ok, not big into Pinot, but had a few glasses of this and was impressed. Very nice, a Pinot with a backbone and complexity. May need to reconsider my take on Pinot.

wlstiles3's Review:

Tried this with great expectations after reading the reviews. Was not disappointed. Very well balanced cab. Tannins strong enough to hold the dark fruit, smoke, and spice together, yet not overpowering the palate. At 16 bucks, still a bargain. Had the '07, thought it was cellar worthy. This might be real dynamite with a few more years in the bottle.

red diamond gets an "A" for consistency. '05,'06,'07 all very solid. At this price its everyday ready.

I tried this wine after reading a review on a blog, I found it to be a good buy at this price point. Dark berries, smooth tannins, nice finish.
